Incidence and predictors of extubation failure among adult intensive care unit patients in Northwest Amhara comprehensive specialized hospitals.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Extubation failure occurs in mechanically ventilated patients after planned extubation. It can cause increased mortality, length of intensive care unit stays, prolonged mechanical ventilation use, increased hospital costs, and increased need for tracheostomy. In Ethiopia, extubation failure is limitedly studied among adult patients admitted to intensive care units. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the incidence and predictors of extubation failure among adult patients in intensive care units. A multicenter retrospective follow-up study was conducted among 380 extubated patients from mechanical ventilation at the intensive care unit in northwest Amhara comprehensive specialized hospitals from May 1, 2021, to April 30, 2024. The data was collected randomly from patient cards using a simple random method with a pretested checklist. The data was entered using Epi-Data 4.6 and analyzed using STATA 17. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to estimate the median extubation failure time. The Cox proportional hazard regression model analyzes the relationship between independent and outcome variables. The overall incidence of extubation failure was 2.64 (95% CI: 1.97-3.54) per 1000 person-hour observations. Forty-five (12.33%) of participants had developed extubation failure. Comorbidities (AHR: 3.92, 95% CI: 1.41-10.81), prolonged mechanical ventilation duration (AHR: 4.69, 95% CI: 2.04-10.80), GCS ≤ 8 with tracheal intubation (AHR: 4.10, 95% CI: 2.10-7.97), and positive fluid balance (AHR: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.23-4.62) were independent predictors of extubation failure. Extubation failure among adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit was high in the first 24 h after extubation. The risk of extubation failure was higher for those patients with comorbidities, prolonged mechanical ventilation, GCS ≤ 8 with tracheal intubation, and positive fluid balance. Therefore, clinicians should prioritize patients who have comorbid conditions, require extended mechanical ventilation, have a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 8 or lower with tracheal intubation, or exhibit a positive fluid balance.
